After you successfully logged in, you will see the apps available on the left-hand side. Then select “Lists”. If you cannot see the app, please click the icon in the lower left corner to display all apps.

By clicking the “+ New list” button, you can create a new list. As soon as you have saved your list, you can see it in the app surface.

If you create a list, you can

• create a new list,
• import a list from Excel,
• use an existing list as basis or
• select existing templates.

When creating a new list, you first need to enter a name for the list in the “name” field. The option “Save as” allows you to choose whether you want to create your own list or a list for a team:

• If you choose “My lists”, you will create a personal list.
• If you go to “Recently used websites”, you can select a team. The list can then be accessed by all members of the team. You can also add the list to the team in Microsoft Teams.

Add a new entry to the list via “New”:

Here you can enter values and attach a file. For editing an entry, double-click on the entry.

If you want to add several entries to your list, click “Edit in grid view”. Then you can add new entries directly in the list. If you click in the next free line, you will add a new entry.

If you want to edit existing entries, click the field you want to edit.

Click “Add column” to add further columns. Here you have the possibility to choose between different content types.

To sort existing columns in an ascending or descending order, click the title and then select the respective sorting.

You can customize the orders via drag & drop.

If you want to invite someone to work together with you on the list, click the “Share” button in the menu bar at the top.

Enter the name or e-mail address of the persons with whom you want to share the list. Choose whether the persons should see, edit or have full access to the list.

You can also specify the name of a team to give all members of this team access to the list. This gives you the possibility to use the list in Teams as well.

Click “Export” in the menu bar. Here you can choose whether you want to export the list as a file you can import into Excel or as a CSV file.

Excel will create a table with all entries analogous to the list in Lists. You can edit this table in Excel.

Click the “Apps” button in the bottom corner on the left-hand side to view your available applications.

Then select “Lists” from the available apps.

When you have selected Lists, you can determine the team and channel to which you want to add Lists.

You can now choose whether to create a new list or add an existing list.
